Last update: 3 hours agoFilm & Occupation Debate: Reactions keep growing over Christopher Nolan’s “The Odyssey” after scenes were filmed in occupied Dakhla, with France’s AFASPA saying the production helps normalize Morocco’s presence by pitching the area as a luxury tourism hub—while FiSahara’s Western Sahara International Film Festival calls for the world to hear Sahrawi voices instead of treating the region like a cinematic backdrop. Festival Boycott Push: FiSahara and other outlets have renewed calls for a public boycott, arguing the filming “tramples on international law” and ignores Sahrawi rights to territory and resources. Cultural Diplomacy in Laayoune: A new French Alliance in Laayoune was inaugurated to expand French-language learning and cultural exchange, with the French ambassador framing it as part of broader arts-and-education cooperation. Polisario Internal Update: Salek Baba Hasna took an oath as a new member of the Polisario Front’s National Secretariat, filling a vacancy linked to the death of field commander Lahbib Mohamed Abdelaziz. Arts in the Spotlight: “The Odyssey” premiered in London to largely positive early reactions, with star photos and coverage highlighting its big-screen scale and its Western Sahara filming locations.
